Shigeo nonchalantly lights his cigarette like he doesn’t have you cornered in an alley. He blows smokes out in your direction, clicking his tongue.
“Fell for my bum of a brother, now look at you,” he says. No point in pretending to pity you. “Maybe you’ll think twice before messing with another beta.”
His worthless excuse of a half-brother’d left you to deal with his debt. Shigeo isn’t surprised. Koji’s the biggest piece of shit he knows. How they share the same father is a mystery to him. He tries not to tell people they’re related, too humiliating.
“So, you got the money?” he asks knowing you don’t. Your four-year-old daughter’s hiding behind your back. He wants to laugh, truly. This whole situation’s a mess. Once Shigeo gets his hands on Koji, he’s going to kill him. Leaving an omega like you to deal with all his problems is a cowardly move. Shigeo’s never respected betas much, but his view of them is steadily declining. Why the hell would you even want his brother?
He’s going to need more cigarettes. “I’ll assume you don’t, considering you were evicted three days ago. I’d look for my brother, but the bastard’s one slippery weasel.”
His men are already looking for Koji as he speaks. He’s going to finally get rid of that dull worm.
And he’s going to get you. He’s wanted you since he saw you helplessly clinging to his brother two years ago. No other omega’s compared to you. He can't stop thinking about you.
Another step forward. Shigeo’s shadow engulfs you and your daughter. He supposes he’s her uncle.
“No money, no future, and a kid to raise,” Shigeo says nonchalantly. “I can be nice, though. Come work for me until the debt’s paid off. I’ll let you stay at my apartment, you’ll have everything else paid for.
You want your kid to go to college in Europe? I’ll make it happen. I just need someone to clean and cook for me. Last one quit.”
He’s lying. Shigeo can do all of that himself, but how else is he meant to keep you? Pluck a bird’s wings to keep them caged. All he wants is for you to sing.
